a = Number of adults
c = Number of children
Total numbers of spectator = 441
a + c = 441
Total proceeds = 13,797 $
a * 45 $ + c * 21 $ = 13,797 $
Now you must solve system of two equation :
a + c = 441
45 a + 21 c = 13,797
Try it.
The solutions are :
a = 189
c = 252
Proof :
a * 45 $ + c * 21 $ =
189 * 45 $ + 252 * 21 $ =
8,505 $ + 5,292 $ = 13,797 $
c = Number of children
Total numbers of spectator = 441
a + c = 441
Total proceeds = 13,797 $
a * 45 $ + c * 21 $ = 13,797 $
Now you must solve system of two equation :
a + c = 441
45 a + 21 c = 13,797
Try it.
The solutions are :
a = 189
c = 252
Proof :
a * 45 $ + c * 21 $ =
189 * 45 $ + 252 * 21 $ =
8,505 $ + 5,292 $ = 13,797 $
